This year’s trade fair appearance is themed “MERLIC - your machine vision software for factory automation”. “With the larger booth, we want to increase our visibility at the trade fair. We are convinced that the level of automation in factories still offers considerable potential for improvement. Machine vision is the key component for more efficient production. With MERLIC, we provide just the right software for this,” explains Ulf Schulmeyer, Product Manager MERLIC at MVTec. MVTec will be presenting the new version 5.6 of MERLIC at SPS. The release, which will be available this fall, offers enhanced connectivity with PLCs as well as new deep learning technologies.
Highlight at the MVTec booth: New version of the no-code software MVTec MERLIC
The new version MERLIC 5.6 will be released on October 16, 2024. At its booth, MVTec will demonstrate how MERLIC, as a hardware-independent machine vision software, can be integrated into an even wider range of process environments. “A plug-in now also enables simple communication with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs. Furthermore, we have added new functionalities to the existing plug-in for the REST API. In addition, we have expanded the already comprehensive portfolio of AI-based deep learning tools in MERLIC. One example is counting with deep learning,” says Schulmeyer, explaining the new features. MVTec will not only be showcasing how machine vision can be utilized in various applications at its booth, but also in a presentation by Ulf Schulmeyer titled “Unlocking the Power of Machine Vision: Transforming Automation Across Industries with AI and Deep Learning”. The presentation will take place on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 1 p.m. in hall 6.
